I've been working on this for the last few weeks. It's a map from 2002 that I've touched up, sealed, lighted, and compiled. Just eclipsed 4000 brushes. For the sake of anachronism, I've been editing it in the same ancient editor (quiver!) I used to use back then. Textures are mostly rtgnosis and rtarbor, with a few unreal and kingpin sneaking in. I'm pleased with the lighting so far, but it is not perfect. There is no progression of objectives yet, nor many things to kill. I've not decided whether to just throw some keys in and release it, or save it for something much larger.
Oh right, it's some kind of medieval city for Q1, currently I'm using Nehahra entities. This part is very old and unchanged: http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/1153/grahfsp00wi6.jpg dense narrow streets: http://img458.imageshack.us/img458/5127/grahfsp01ys6.jpg you can go inside the buildings: http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/818/grahfsp02gs6.jpg I'm aware that this lighting is rather flat: http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/3136/grahfsp04ty2.jpg Oh, very nice !! I love the medieval city atmosphere.. It remind me the "Petite France" in Strasbourg :)
Keep it up, and release it soon please ! Looking sweet, guys.
Grahf: Really cool, strong and original theme there, I dig the textures and your heavy structures. Lots of supports, pillars and girders, very nice. Maybe the lights and monsters are enough to bring some splotches of colors, making them stand out even more. Fits right into Quake. Method: Foreboding, forgotten, isolated, old, decayed. Hope you'll be releasing that texture set? Would fit right into HL2, too, I feel. It's got a good vibe to it, like something out of the dark, old alleys of an old European city. looks great, I like that texture combination.
Method, that's very nice. Looks quite City of Lost Children-ish, which is a good thing. I should comment on method's screenies. I seriously thought it was a max/maya rendering, before he said it was D3. That level of mapping is so far beyond anything I could attempt.
Thanks Grahf :) I'm planning on making a SP level in the future. Currently thinking of cool ideas for it and geometry.
-Method That looks very solid - nice to know you're using Nehahra as well, it remains one of the greats.
You're going ahead with a full SP or you have grander plans? Both good. those trims could use some color variation. I'd avoid using the same color on the trim as you do on the dominate tiles. That one tile with the X cross I'd recommend whipping out photoshop and making the X portion a lighter tone so it doesn't look so flat.
similar to advice Metl once gave me, the wooden post and the brown brick in http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/1153/grahfsp00wi6.jpg kind of fade in to one another because they are almost the same shade of brown. Lighten the wooden post tile and it should bring out its material properties better in contrast to the brick's dark bulky presence.
OK people, Ive made a six map mini episode using quoth. I have sent a copy to kell. So far I havent incorporated skyboxes (but will) and it probably needs a bit of tweaking here and there. I need some playtesting done, but dont want to host a final version online yet cause obviously its not finished. If anyone thinks theyre up for the job, then please email me and I will send you a copy, or leave your email address where I can see it on this messageboard and I will send you a copy. It uses a base theme mostly, lost of quoth demons on the later maps and kell's fury texture wad.
My address: trowbridge.richard@googlemail.com Jolly Good! I'm working on some new Q1 monsters, and so far all goes well. So I tried to get grip on the Q3 bones model, and it has touched me with its grey haze. Converting it to quake1 gave me a tough job, as animating frames all had to be concealed again. Made it some tougher, because it got rather thin, and then
Qmle showed up with a strange texture convertion, as well as a lot of vertice meshes, but that aside. I had the skin part right, but somehow a part of the texture keeps mirrored. I made three models now, but they all turn up with the same error. http://members.home.nl/gimli/bone0.jpg http://members.home.nl/gimli/bone1.jpg http://members.home.nl/gimli/bone2.jpg Anyone knows how to avoid this nasty habbit? Here are some screenshots of me maps:

But I wouldnt have said this version (which I'm not hosting yet) is final, cause it seems the more things I fix, the more problems I see. Took Three hours to compile the last map last night (Aargh!!!), and Ill prob end up doing it again tonight. Mail me if you wanna playtest the NEW beta! (new from yesterday, that is...)
